Good pics Emmerg, your Excel looks great, just the sort of thing I'm after. Shame it's not for sale!

The one advertised for 10K as 'best in the world' was reduced to 8.5 k 'offers invited' so its hard to say what it went for in the end. It did go quite quickly after the price reduction though.

Hi Gavin, yes please, I'm not a Club Lotus member (yet) so I havent seen that one


Thanks

Shaun

Thanks Exceldave, yep, I'm looking at those sites, and on here of course

Went for £6,200 in the end to the guy that kept outbidding me, he must have wanted it bad!!

Shaun

Hi guys, thanks for the helpful comments, I decided not to bid any higher in the end, it was a tough decision but not being able to get to see the car in the flesh or drive it first made my mind up for me, despite the seller telling me I could walk away with no hard feelings if I wasnt impressed whe...

Unfortunately I'm no longer the top bidder I went to £5,700 but the other bidder seems pretty determined, I'm currently pacing the floor deciding whether to up my bid. Like I said before its all to easy to get carried away on Ebay and end up paying over the odds.


Shaun

Well, one day to go and I'm currently the top bidder, I may be behind the wheel of a Lotus again sooner than I thought!

I have asked the seller for the mileage, service history detail and some more pics. Its hard not to let your heart rule your head in a situation like this, the car appears to be in top nick and is my dream spec. Only issue is I will have to buy without seeing it in the flesh / driving in it as there...

Hi all, there is very nice looking 1990 Calypso red Excel for sale in Bristol on Ebay with an Isle of Man Reg no. It looks just what I'm after. :D I'm going to e-mail the seller with some questions but in the meantime, does anyone know the car? It looks like an enthusiasts car (can a lotus be anythi...

Hi Worzel4u, I have sent you a private e-mail using the e-mail address you have quoted above requesting pictures of the car?

Shaun

Fitz I would be very interested to here how you get on with the child seat!

Hi all, I'm currently looking to buy an Excel.(I've posted a note in the wanted section) I previously owned one 15 years ago in my mid twenties as a daily driver and loved it. (Incidentally, does anyone know the whereabouts of C697AEX? As far as I'm aware it was originally a press car.) So I'm now m...

Thanks for that, I've looked at the one on Pistonheads, really I'm looking for something original with FSH or evidence of fettled ownership if you know what I mean. I've owned one previously (13 years ago!) that only had 25k on the clock when I bought it and it was great, but,these cars can get expe...

Wanted, late Excel SE or SA. I'm looking for a superb example, not fussed on colour (although white, red and green would be favourite) Aircon would be nice but not a deal breaker I'm willing to pay top money (but not silly money eg: the one on car&classic for 10k which I consider to be way over pric...
